Good Results

The 'Mortal Kombat' surpasses audience expectations, excelling in CGI, special effects, and the martial arts performances of the cast. The dialogue is generally satisfactory, though there are moments, like the antagonist's use of the 'Fatality' term, that might be less relatable. Overall, the film is both menacing and cool.

However, its excessive violence and cruelty, highlighted by bone-cracking scenes and prominent gore, make 'Mortal Kombat' suitable primarily for a mature audience. Some film critics express mixed feelings, with some finding it very good, while others are unimpressed due to the film's intense focus on gore and violence.

While opinions among the general audience may vary, many found 'Mortal Kombat' to be very good overall.

"I felt my blood rushing in excitement as they battled the outerworld forces," one person shared with their friend.

"I liked Lord Raiden... he's such a cool character," another friend chimed in.

"Yeah, I liked him too," agreed another.

"I wonder if 'Mortal Kombat' will get a sequel... I'm genuinely interested in the Outerworld."

"Me too."

The audience engaged in discussions, and the consensus was that most of them enjoyed the film.

As the audience gradually exited the cinema, some were approached by various media outlets for interviews.

"What are your thoughts on the 'Mortal Kombat' film?" inquired a Fox reporter, addressing a man leaving the theater.

"It was a really good film, I must say!" the Caucasian man exclaimed. He then added, "But make sure not to bring your child, alright? The movie isn't exactly family-friendly..."

The Fox reporter nodded and asked, "I see... Does it include intense scenes as expected?"

The man nodded and replied, "That's right. Even though I'm accustomed to gore and violence in films, typically horror movies, I can confidently say that 'Mortal Kombat' definitely ranks high in terms of gore and violence, especially in the fight scenes."

Other interviewed audience members echoed similar sentiments.

A week after the widespread screening of 'Mortal Kombat,' the box office results surprised everyone, reaching around 48 million dollars.

It proved to be a massive success, with 'Mortal Kombat' gaining widespread popularity in the USA through KiShin's Merchandise, featuring 'Mortal Kombat' toys and action figures, and benefiting from additional marketing by Walt Disney.

The marketing strategies proved highly effective, propelling 'Mortal Kombat' to surpass even the successful films of Warner Bros. and Universal Studios. Newspapers in New York featured headlines such as "Another Film with Box Office Success from KiShin Pictures."

"After one of the most successful box office films, 'Jurassic Park,' KiShin strikes again with their new film, 'Mortal Kombat'! The film is lauded for its advanced CGI, animation, special effects, sound effects, and soundtrack. However, it also faces criticism for its gore and violence," reads the newspaper below the headline.

Many readers, discovering this news through newspapers, became aware of the emerging film in Hollywood. Some remarked, "Oh, the film studio that produced 'Jurassic Park.' I guess there's no harm in watching it..."

Most of the older generation, who still read newspapers, share somewhat similar opinions...
